As the match was between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI), the focus was on the two legends Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. From the MI vs RCB match at Wankhede Stadium on April 12, there are multiple videos and images capturing some moments between Rohit and Virat, which went viral on social media platforms.
One of the viral videos on social media platform Instagram shows former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma involved in a funny prank with RCB legend Virat Kohli.
Virat Kohli scored 50, Royal Challengers Bengaluru 240!
By batting first, RCB set a huge total on the scoreboard. Riding on the stunning knocks of Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, captain Rajat Patidar and Tim David, the defending champions posted a total of 240 runs on the board in return for just 4 wickets.
Virat Kohli played a very important role for the team. The batting maestro of Team India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru registers another half-century in his T20 run tally. Kohli scored 50 runs off 38 balls before falling short against MI captain Hardik Pandya.
In his 38-ball knock, the opener hit MI’s blowers with five 4s and a 6. With the knock, he not only stitched a 120-run partnership for the opening position with Phil Salt but also created a solid foundation for the team, which later helped RCB secure a mammoth total of 240 on the board.
RCB set another record in IPL history
According to statistics, it was one of the highest totals recorded by RCB in the history of the Indian Premier League. So far, 263 is the highest total ever scored in an innings. In 2013, Bengaluru claimed 263 runs against the (now defunct) Pune Warriors India.
This season, they have achieved another massive total in an innings. Against the Chennai Super Kings, the IPL 2025 winners posted 250 runs for 3 wickets in Bengaluru.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma had a fun moment during the match in Mumbai
In the viral video we can see Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma involved in a funny incident. While Rohit acted to deliver the ball, Virat faked his backward steps in the box. In reality, Rohit had no intention of throwing the ball into the stumps as Virat was very close to his crease. On the other hand, Virat also knew that Rohit was not going to throw the ball.
However, Rohit Sharma had a tough time tonight. He had to consider retiring injured after suffering an injury. It is suspected that it is a problem related to the hamstring for which he had to leave the field.
